Our take · Researched, not tested

Black felt, tall crown, zero apologies. Very villain era.

By Jessica Reyes, women's hats desk Pen name, fact-checked by our team

A black felt cowgirl hat with a tall crown is basically a personality. This women's Deputy is wool felt with a gus-shaped crown that rises 5 in and a 4 in curled cattleman brim. There's an adjustable Velcro sweatband inside, and it's imported. Outfit formula: hat, black leather jacket, white slip dress, black boots. It's made for concerts, cold-night rodeos and every photo you plan to post.

Jessica's tip: Keep it off the car dash between stops. Heat warps felt, and nobody wants a melted villain era.

Questions

Which size of the Deputy should I get?

Measure your head where the hat sits and match it to the chart. SM fits heads 21 to 21 7/8 in (54 to 55 cm) on American Hat Makers' chart. XL fits heads 23 5/8 to 24 1/4 in (60 to 61 cm) on American Hat Makers' chart. Between sizes, American Hat Makers says to size up and use the foam insert it includes.

Can you wear the Deputy in summer?

You can, at night shows, weddings and anywhere air-conditioned, but felt runs warm on a hot afternoon. Tradition puts felt from Labor Day to Memorial Day and straw in between, per Resistol.

Can you travel with the Deputy?

Wear it on travel days. It isn't listed as packable, so it shouldn't go folded in a suitcase. For a checked bag, use a hat box with the crown stuffed.

How do you care for a felt hat like this?

A soft brush after dusty days, a rest on its crown, and no hot cars. If it gets rained on, shake it off, turn the sweatband down and let it air-dry at room temperature.

What if it doesn't fit?

American Hat Makers states 90-day easy returns (per American Hat Makers, as stated on their site Nov 6, 2026). Check the store's current policy before you buy; its page is the final word.
